## Description
If you thought Pax Pamir was already a dense plate of intrigue and politics, brace yourself! Khyber Knives arrives to further supercharge this game, bringing a bunch of new cards and concepts that will spice things up. Now, in addition to everything you already knew, you can imprison rival spies in your private dungeon or turn to piracy to fill your coffers in the Punjab. The goal remains to dominate Afghanistan, but the routes to power have multiplied! You can focus on having more influence in the regional governments, building your own dynasty, or even engaging in illicit activities to fund your ambitions. The fight for Afghanistan's future is more intense than ever, and with these new options, each game promises a unique and unpredictable experience.

This expansion adds 54 new game cards and six Wazir Cards, ensuring that the deck variance between games is enormous. This means you'll have to constantly adapt, as strategies that worked before might not carry the same weight now. It's an invitation to explore new tactics, take more risks, and, of course, negotiate (or betray!) your opponents in even more creative ways. If you're a fan of games that make you think, that blend history with deep mechanics, and offer many paths to victory, Khyber Knives is a full course meal. Get ready to dive headfirst into the political and economic complexities of the Great Game, where every decision counts and loyalty is a rare luxury.
